Chapter 218: Hunting Operations
Although there was only a misty hairy moon overhead, and it was pitch black all around, Lao Bai in the lead seemed to know everything.
The crowd followed him non-stop, straight into the hinterland of the grassland.
In the vast grassland, under the night, nothing can be seen, only the whirring night wind blows from time to time.
I don't know how long I ran, but in front of a hillside, Lao Bai raised his left hand and signaled everyone to stop.
Although the slopes on the grassland are more than hills, they are very short, basically more than ten meters high.
"What's wrong?" Su Xiu had been following behind the King of Hades and asked with some curiosity.
Hades pointed to the hillside, lowered his voice and said, "Look over there, is there a fire?" ”
Su Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked up, but didn't see too much abnormality, it seemed to be the light reflected by the moon overhead.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the light on that side flickered.
Su Xiu was shocked in his heart, this Lao Bai had something, how far away, such a subtle change could be detected.
"See!" Hades spoke.
Su Xiu nodded.
"The fat man stays and looks after the horses, and the others, follow me to see what happens!" Lao Bai jumped off his horse and shouted in a low voice.
Without any hesitation, everyone quickly dismounted, handed over the horses to the fat man, and followed Lao Bai quietly towards the hillside not far away.
Along the way, no one spoke, and they all hurried away with weapons in hand.
Finally, the beating fire became more and more apparent.
Climbing up the hill, in the valley below, three bonfires appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
And next to these three bonfires, there are three tents, built in a triangular shape.
Not far from the tent, there are six war horses tethered!
"Three tents, six horses, up to six barbarians!" Lao Bai analyzed in a low voice.
"Xiao Su, what do you think?" Lao Bai looked at Su Xiu and asked.
Su Xiu was stunned for a moment, this kind of thing asked himself?
"Fuck it!" Su Xiu didn't hesitate, and blurted out four words!
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Lao Bai's face, he nodded, and with a wave of his hand, the group surrounded the barbarian tent directly.
Su Xiu took the lead and rushed to the front.
With him was Hades.
Killing barbarians can earn experience points, which is also the main purpose of his joining the Night.
His perception had already been released, and among the three tents, there were a total of six barbarian warriors, who were in a state of deep sleep.
Picking open the tent with a war knife, all of a stench, a foul smell rushed out directly.
However, everyone seemed to have been accustomed to this, and they didn't care at all, making sure that the barbarian was not awakened, and directly touched it.
Su Xiu was like a spirit fox, entered the tent, touched the outermost barbarian, covered his mouth with one hand, and cut his throat directly with a knife in his hand.
Uh-uh......
The barbarian's vitality is indeed tenacious, his throat is directly cut, and his body is still twitching, trying to make a sound.
The barbarian next to him was awakened for the first time, but what awaited him was only death.
Su Xiu's movements were like flowing water, the blade on this side slashed through his throat, and the tip of the knife on that side had reached the heart of the barbarian.
A knife was inserted into his heart, and with a strong stir, the barbarian warrior only had time to let out a miserable scream, and his head was crooked while holding Su Xiu's war knife with both hands, and he ran out of breath.
With a thousand experience points in hand, Su Xiu directly exited the tent.
The other two sides have also completed kills.
If the night is not closed, the top scout team of the Great Wall Guardian Army, sneak attack and kill a few barbarian scouts, there is still no problem.
"I didn't expect that not long after I set off, I met a barbarian scout!" The one who spoke was the best assassin in the team, tall and thin, with dark skin, and everyone called him Lao Hei!
"Clean up, continue to expand the search area, and see if this situation is unique!" Lao Bai finally summed up, turned around and left.
Su Xiu is a little unclear So, this is the territory of the barbarians, isn't it normal to encounter the barbarians' scout team?
Hades seemed to know that Su Xiu had doubts, and explained: "The barbarians know that our army will not go deep into the grassland, so at this time of the year, there are no barbarian scouts here, and only when they go south, will scouts be dispatched!" ”
"So, this is the barbarian preparing to go south?" Su Xiu asked.
Hades shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, if they are going south, there will definitely not be only this scout team, so the boss wants to expand the search area, just to be sure!" ”
After listening to Hades' explanation, Su Xiu nodded.
The group quickly got on their horses and continued to move forward.
Su Xiu also quietly summoned his two Dapeng birds, in this kind of place, the role of the Dapeng bird is absolutely huge.
It didn't take long for the Dapeng bird overhead to send a message.
Sure enough, in a col not far from here, there was also a barbarian scout, and it didn't seem to have fallen asleep.
However, Su Xiu didn't speak, because under the leadership of Lao Bai, they were heading in that direction.
The thirteen horsemen did not stop for a moment, and rushed directly to the front of the barbarian scout team who was drinking.
By the time they came to their senses, they were surrounded!
"Kill!" Lao Bai's voice was not loud, but it was full of murderous energy.
Rumble......
As soon as the war horse was clamped between their legs, everyone rushed directly, and the war knife in their hands slashed directly at the barbarian's neck.
The barbarian scouts, who had already drunk and were in a daze, were too late to resist and were directly killed.
Su Xiu's whole body was prostrate on horseback, and the war knife in his hand had already been blessed with aura.
Burst......
With a knife down, a human head flew high.
The six-man barbarian scout team was killed in an instant.
After completing the kill, the team doesn't have any lingering and continues to set off in search of a new target.
Under the leadership of Lao Bai, this thirteen-person team of thirteen people who went deep into the grassland did not retreat at night, just like the most experienced hunters, constantly finding out the barbarian scout teams hidden in the dark night.
When the belly of the fish appeared white on the edge of the sky, the hunt finally stopped.
"Release the letter eagle and send the news back!" Lao Bai quickly wrote the note and handed it to the long-legged seven beside him.
Longfoot Seven picked up a whistle hanging around his neck and blew it slowly.
A moment later, a goshawk swooped down and landed on Long-legged Seven's shoulder.
Su Xiu looked at this goshawk with some curiosity, it was indeed an ordinary goshawk, and saw that Longfoot Seven skillfully stuffed the note into the bamboo tube on the fly's feet.
Then, with a wave of his hand, the goshawk fluttered a few times, rushed into the sky, and soon disappeared.
"Find a place to rest and move on at night!" After Lao Bai finished speaking, he turned over and continued to move forward.
When the day was bright, a group of thirteen people came to a valley.
The valley is not big, and there is nothing to see except the tall weeds.
Su Xiu followed the king of Hades and walked in, only to find that there was another cave in it.
The tall weeds can completely block the traces of the horses, and on the slopes on both sides, there are pits for people to rest temporarily.
"Here, it's our rest point, it's safe!" Hades spoke.
Su Xiu nodded, with his two Dapeng birds above his head taking care of him, he was not worried.
After the horse is tied, it is directly turned to sleep.
Day and night, this is their style of doing things at night.
